Newcastle fans have taken to Twitter to discuss comments made by Steve Bruce following the 5-1 win over Sunderland from back in 2010.
A Magpies supporter dug up the quotes and posted them on Twitter, which sparked a reaction from the Toon Army.
After Kevin Nolan netted a hat-trick to down the Black Cats, Newcastle played ‘Daydream Believer’ by the Monkees over the St James’ Park PA system.
However, Newcastle supporters changed the lyrics to personally insult Bruce, something that he wasn’t too happy about.
Sky Sports (via Goal) quote him as saying: ‘It is 71 days until the next derby at our place, not that we are counting. I hope we can repeat the same dosage when they come to our place. It was typical of that club’s etiquette.’
Bruce’s referral to Newcastle as ‘that club’ while also criticising their etiquette makes for very interesting reading over a decade down the line.
It sounds like he was genuinely furious after that humiliating defeat, and that anger led to him unveiling some personal feelings towards the Magpies.
It’s funny how things work out.
Who would’ve thought after that result that Bruce would be in charge of Newcastle, while Sunderland would be languishing in League One?
Admittedly, the latter isn’t too surprising, as the Wearsiders played like a League One club that day, and not a good one.
Let’s see what the Newcastle fans on Twitter have been saying about the comments…
